In the shadows, I linger, a silent admirer,,

 I linger, a ghost of love's past,

Watching you shine, a radiant fire.

A silent echo, a love that couldn't last.

Your smile, a beacon, that lights up my night,

But in your eyes, I'm just out of sight.

Your laughter, a melody that haunts my dreams,

But in your world, I'm torn at the seams.

I yearn for your gaze, a fleeting glance,

I ache for your touch, a phantom of desire,

A moment of connection, a stolen chance.

Lost in a sea of unspoken fire.

Yet you dance in the sun, oblivious to me,

A lone admirer, hidden in the sea.

My heart beats like a drum, a silent song,

A love unspoken, a feeling strong.

My heart weeps in silence, a shattered song,

A love unreturned, a love gone wrong.

You walk in the sunlight, a distant dream,

While I drown in shadows, a silent scream.

I've cherished you from afar, a distant star,

I've loved you for long my heart is sold

For in this one-sided love, my soul feels cold.
